Call for Papers: Anti-consumption EJM Special Issue

The European Journal of Marketing (EJM) aims to publish a special section of approximately 12 research notes/short papers on anti-consumption in 2011. This call is combined with the International Centre for Anti-Consumption Research (ICAR) and New Approaches to Consumer Resistance (NACRE) symposium hosted by Euromed in Marseille, France, on June the 25-26th 2010.

Topics

Anti-consumption and consumer resistance are receiving more attention, as evidenced by recent work and special issues in the area, however, there is still much confusion about the differences and similarities between anti-consumption and consumer resistance. Thus, the main objective of the ICAR/NACRE 2010 symposium is to identify and discuss what the most pertinent redundancies and differences are in these two topics. Hence the EJM special section and symposium theme is:

Anti-consumption and consumer resistance: Concepts, concerns, conflicts, and convergence.

Eligible papers should take into consideration the objectives and topic areas of ICAR and NACRE, as well as the unique positioning statement and intended audience of EJM. Interested authors are invited to consider the fit of other potential topics through discussion with Mike Lee.

Submission

Please follow EJM formatting guidelines (viewable on the Journal’s website http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ejm.htm). The manuscripts submitted to the EJM special issue must not exceed 4500 words in length (including references). Manuscripts should be submitted by January 29th 2010

All manuscripts will undergo a double blind peer review process involving several guest Editors and a specialist review panel. We hope to notify authors of the first round outcome in April 2010. Authors successful in the first round will be invited to present their work at the ICAR/NACRE Symposium, where they will receive additional feedback for revising and re-submitting their manuscript to the EJM special section second round. Manuscripts should ONLY be submitted in electronic format to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ejm), specific details below.

We look forward to your participation!
